Topic: What's for Dinner? (Read 624160 times)

We walked to the McDonald's we've lived by for years and never visited, because they got a Redbox, and we decided to get pop -- and the clerk gave us two GIANT cups instead of one. That much Diet Coke at 8 p.m. kept me up really darned late!

Russian yogurt with a dab of mayo, pickled mushrooms and black olives. Yum!

I'm having blueberries mixed with sugar free black cherry gelatin and some fake frozen whipped cream..maybe half a banana. Double yum!(can you believe I am wasting organic blueberries and banana on this dessert?)

Have you tried frozen yogurt instead of whipped cream?

I haven't and would love to, but since I have watch my sugar carefully I find that the kind of frozen whipped topping works for me. I actually would prefer half and half but if I have it in the house I use it...on everything, it seems.

I've never knitted anything I could recognize when it was finished. Actually, I've never finished anything, much to my family's relief.

I'm not sure if this dish has a name. We call it our 'traditional American dinner', traditional meaning Aztecs and Mayans, not United States. But it's cheap and easy and yummy, so there you go.

A whole bunch of plain corn chips, salsa sauce, avocado, a can of beans, and a few button mushrooms all go in a square cake pan and then baked in the oven until I feel like it. Sometimes we put cheese on top, but that's technically cheating because it wasn't originally American.

Yesterday was a grilled cheese sandwich with sliced vegetarian apple-sage sausage in it--I needed something hearty after an exhausting six-hour hike! And a green smoothie with spinach, half an avocado, a banana, and half a lime.

Today was some leftover Ethiopian takeout--bean stew with injera.

Tomorrow will most likely be a pasta salad with garbanzo beans, chopped vegetables, Kalamata olives, and Annie's Goddess dressing. I'll make enough to take some to work for lunch later this week.

I'm going to a concert this afternoon with friends, then we're all headed out to try a new local brew pub.

My friend and I decided to go for variety and split a Caeser salad, fish tacos and fettuccini alfredo with primavera veggies and garlic bread. Everything was good except for the salsa that came with the tacos which apparently came out of a jar of Pace: definitely not what I would expect from an upscale brew pub in California. We also ordered a couple of pomegranate hard ciders which were delicious. Their dessert menu was lacking so we walked down the street to the dessert diner where we forced ourselves to sample 4 kinds of cake.

We went for Thai for lunch -- "noodle lord" and pad se ew with tofu spring rolls -- and fiance was too tired to stay up past 8 (I wasn't, but I also wasn't up for cooking), so we didn't really have dinner, just pita chips and a grapefruit.
